<a href="http://www.macidol.com/song/12208">World Jam</a>
Genre: <a href="http://www.macidol.com/music/world/world/">World</a>

Made with <a href="http://www.macidol.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4744">GarageBand 3</a>, World Jam Pack and Zippy the Tele.

Is it getting hot in here?

Edit: if any of you are mad enough to download this, just wack the volume down a bit, in the track options in iTunes (i raised the volume manually as I mixed it too low. I will redo it tomorrow/today as it is 6:20 AM and I haven't been to sleep yet... )

Good Night

Cool mix, felt like a short trip.

Sounds like a fantastic jam pack. I think Zippy steals the show, what a cool sound.
Is that through GB guitar amp?

Jam on

agreed.. an awesome sonic journey and expert demonstration of the new jampack. After the song had finished I had that walking out of the cinema and slightly dazed feeling. wow.

Thanks - Zippy went through <a href="http://www.macidol.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4308" title="Guitar Rig 2 is now available">Guitar Rig V1</a> - Hard Trance Sequencer preset if I remember rightly....

It is a bit mad, but I had a mad night

I'd be stupid to say anything but positive things about this as you got close to my (secret) new music I've been working on for a month now! I can't say anything else or it won't be a (secret) any more.

Sooooooooo, I really can't comment about this work except to say, "I LOVE IT!"

Yep, this is quite a sonic journey. Great use of the African voices. I didn't recognize some of the instruments, so can you give us a rundown of which ones you used from the new Jam Pack?

by **MarkOla** » Fri Jan 13, 2006 3:32 pm

Holy Strat ..... .. ... ..... .... I just tried the demo of Guitar Rig 2, what a toy.
No more work for me today.

clanger, thats delightfully insane, go easy on the medication. :wink:

Thanks man, erm I mean hobbit. For about 10 years I have wanted to record different nationalities, and create a sort of world jam, the voices on the disc are great. Just what I have always wanted, minus some Tibetan Monk chanting that is.... Then at about 5am, I heard the racing cars and I just loved the dragster too, so the vapors and tiredness probably took it somewhere totally different from where i envisaged originally. Looking forward to your new project!

Wow! Brilliant - I love the panning whooshes at the start. Very ethnic and yes, the voices are great. Fantastic soundscapes. Is that "Sumo Dalek" I can hear? The mind boggles at such a thought :shock:

Great tune Rich - thanks.

Bravo!

Did I hear Dee singing in there?

Great stuff, Rich.

Thanks Bill.
I was staggered by the amount of sounds on this one disc. The audio quality is superb.

I used these sounds from the World Jam Pack:
African Kit, Asian Kit, Shetland Bass Drum loop (awesome), Shetland Snare loops, Shetland Shaker, African King Ensemble Loop, Tibetan singing bowls, Spanish flamenco guitar, Japanese Koto (muted in the current mix), Shetland fiddle, Latin Day voice, African Mist Voice, Brazilian Sun Voice, Cuban Timba voice, Jacaranda Singers 05, Jacaranda Singers 06, Eastern Storm Voice 03,

The sound effects are all part of GarageBand 3 and include Dinosaur, racing cars, zingers, morse code, loon calls, space log, radio tuning

Hip Hop Kit and knuckles bass sound (from the remix jampack).

The guitar was just one track, using the superb Guitar Rig V1 and the Hard Trance Sequencer preset.

I have had a bit of a eureka moment last night. I <em>reckon</em> because GarageBand is only 16 bit, the best thing you can do where possible is use the sounds at unity gain. If you boost them, with eq or gain etc the program has to lose some of these extra bits. Which means you lose quality - make sense? I don't know if GarageBand 3 has been better optimised than it's previous incarnations, or because I kept most loops at unity or below but I have never got more tracks out of my PowerBook. I had to lock a few, but I got 28 tracks including 1 Guitar Rig, which is very cpu hungry... so I am very happy as I can't afford a MacBook Pro!

Thanks Dave and Maggie.
No Dee and no Sumo i am afraid, maybe in version 2? :twisted:

Thanks very much!

Hello, my beautiful generous wife, I have great news! Remember this morning when I said, "All I need is GB3 this weekend? Ahhhhhh, I need to add that Jampack 4 I said I could live without......." Hmmm, now how can I get her to believe me

Worth staying up all night for, I reckon. Good one Mr Fingers

very tight keeping the atmosphere with all those different textures. Hmm what does that mean? Even though it goes different places with instruments and voices it still feels coherent ... hmm ... :oops:

Bloody Great! :lol:
